For the background I first applied some pink and purple alcohol inks to Yupo paper. When it was dry, I stamped the ranunculus (Simon Says Stamp) with red Archival ink (Ranger). I made the pink ranunculus by wiping off the red ink with a cloth before it dried. I die cut the Hero arts “hello” from some foam, adhered it to the card and added some black enamel dots.

This is a card I made to welcome a new baby. The stamps are from Reverse Confetti and the idea to recess the baby onesies is from Nina-Marie Trapani. I went with non-traditional baby colors, using purple, teal and green Ranger Archival Inks for the stamping and Wild Honey Distress Ink for that golden glow.

Creative Chemistry 103 explored another way to use Distress Crayons as a resist. The interesting thing is that one of the ways you can apply the crayons is as watercolor paint but after the crayons are dry, they can function as a resist against Distress Ink so you can ink right over the image and add water as you would to many Distress Ink techniques without it reacting to the image.
